  3. Slide 3 of Muse Wonder's deck
    Slide 3Acceptable The right-hand panel is text-heavy; understanding the adjustment requires reading several sentences.The right text panel is text-heavy, with the text packed at the top and the lower half of the panel left empty.
  4. Slide 4 of Muse Wonder's deck
    Slide 4Acceptable The title names a topic rather than stating a takeaway.The title is a topic label ('What tenants are experiencing') rather than a takeaway such as 'complaints up 64%'.
  5. Slide 5 of Muse Wonder's deck
    Slide 5Acceptable The title labels the topic rather than foregrounding the annual saving or payback takeaway.The '4.3' data label collides with the chart title 'Annual running cost (£m per year)'.
  6. Slide 6 of Muse Wonder's deck
    Slide 6Acceptable The three cards are much taller than their content requires, leaving large empty lower sections and making the layout feel top-heavy.The three cards are mostly empty: the text fills only the top third and the lower two-thirds are wasted.
  7. Slide 7 of Muse Wonder's deck
    Slide 7Polished The central callout combines the bridging condition and cost comparison into one dense, uniformly bold paragraph.
